Chapter 13

The Hunter

Running

Sungmin didn’t look back . . He didn’t know where the sound that he heard came from . It could have been a rabbit that he saw all the time, or even a boar… it could be something like that .

But what does that matter . He saw a body . He saw a No Class's corpse that was from the No Class hunting . He wasn’t arrogant . Confidence was something that people who had things had .

The sound came closer from behind . It wasn’t a monster . A rabbit running, a boar running, it didn’t match either of those sounds . The sound was… light . It wasn’t a goblin or an orc . A light but fast sound . It was getting closer .

Human . Is this… a speed technique? Sungmin wrinkled . It wasn’t just running . If it was just running, the person wouldn’t be able to catch up with his One Thunder .

‘Was it a martial artist?’

It wasn’t good . Bad luck . A sudden moment, he heard a sound . It wasn’t a running sound . This was…

Air . Sungmin threw his body around . With the speed that he was running at, he flew in the air .

The knife the person threw slightly missed Sungmin and went away . Dang!

He quickly tried to catch his fall, but his body rolled on the ground .

“Ha!”

Sungmin breathed hard as he stood up .

“It was a martial artist . ”

The hunter muttered .

He wasn’t that tall . There was a skinny man standing on the ground . The area below his eyes were black like death .

“He didn’t look like it…”

It was a bad choice . The man muttered as he wrinkled his eyebrows . But he had no intention of backing off .

‘What is this…’

Sungmin acted with a scared face . Even with that face, Sungmin stayed level-headed inside . Running… was impossible .

But he knew one thing .

The hunter’s power wasn’t that great . If it were great, then he wouldn’t have tried to assassinate him with a throwing knife . . He would have taken him down by running . He didn’t even look confident with assassinations . Sungmin ‘heard’ the sound, and ‘dodged’ the throwing knife . ’

‘A third rate . ’

The person that killed No Classes for a week in the Goblin area was just a third rate martial artist .

However, he wasn’t to be taken lightly . With just a knife, a human can be a murder . The human body is just that fragile .

Even as a third-rate martial artist, he had definitely learned the technique of killing a person . He had no hesitation towards murder . He had no hesitation in swinging a weapon . Martial arts were just basically a better way of killing .

Not being used to fighting monsters, not being used to killing humans… this was a No Class . To a No Class like that… a person like this who kills other people with weapons was like a demon to them .

Not to Lee Sungmin .

‘Third class… can he do it?’

Sungmin raised both his hands . He was showing that he wasn’t going to attack . The hunter’s eyebrow went up .

“What are you doing?”

“I . . . I don’t want to die . ”

Sungmin made a hesitating sound . He made a face like he was going to cry, and with his 14 year old face, it looked good .

“There is no one who wants to die . ”

The hunter muttered . He pulled out the knife on his waist .

“Who wants to die?”

Hing . The hunter swung his knife . The knife made a loud sound as it cut the air . It was a sound that threatened . Lee Sungmin swallowed loudly . This was also a sound that was made to be heard

“If, if you let me live . ”

Sungmin lifted the interdimensional pocket . The hunter’s eyes narrowed .

“I’ll… give you this . ”

“What is that . ”

The hunter asked . Sungmin opened the pocket .

Looking at his movement,Sungmin put his hand inside the pocket .

What he pulled out was a constructible spear . He had bought it after his spear broke after the orc fight . Creak! Sungmin created the spear as the hunter looked .

“ . . . what is that?”

The hunter’s mouth opened . It was a surprised face . What made him surprised was not the spear, but was the pocket . It was the size of 2 hands, but a spear came out of it . It was surprising .

“It’s called a interdimensional pocket . I’ll give you this… so can you let me live?”

“Why can’t I just kill you and take it?”

B*itch . His thinking was very logically . As he thought that, he still kept up his scared face .

He didn’t understand the pocket . This guy… didn’t have the understanding of this world . To explain, he didn’t understand the ‘magic’ behind the pocket .

“Th, this pocket has magic inside of it . If I die, it doesn’t work anymore . ”

“You want me to believe that?”

“It’s true…!”

Sungmin shouted as he made a face . The hunter didn’t know what to believe . Like Sungmin thought, he didn’t know anything about magic . He knew how the world worked, and how hunting weak humans gave more profit than hunting monsters . So he was killing people who looked weak in this area .

That was it . Magic? What is that

“ . . . Give that to me”

The hunter said .

“Leave the spear . ”

The hunter added . Of course . Sungmin put down the spear .

Up to here was Sungmin’s plan . Using the pocket, he would get the hunter’s interest . He would take the spear out .

Then he would show the spear .

The spear that was a weapon .

“Come here . ”

The hunter ordered . Sungmin shook his legs and made a frightened face . He was glad that he was 14 doing this .

He acted scared . He begged to let him live in return for the pocket . He put down the spear on the ground .

With this, he encouraged overconfidence from the hunter .

Can he do it?

It wasn’t that he wasn’t scared . He was acting cool-headed, but if he did something wrong, he would die . There was no other way when escape was impossible . He had to kill the other person .

He had to select a way . Frontal assault? No way . Lee Sungmin wasn’t overconfident in himself . His Amethyst Cloud was still level 1, and the techniques that he was practicing weren’t strong enough . Inner strength . He didn’t have enough . If he used a spear… he would be able to survive a bit . But he wouldn’t be able to win .

In his past life, he was a second rate . The opponent now was third rate . If he used his past body, he would be able to win in a head-on fight .

But for now that wasn’t possible . He didn’t have a strong enough body yet . Even after 2 months of strengthening, he was nothing compared to a strong man . He couldn’t use inner strength to cover that strength weakness either .

Even as a third rate, he probably knew more techniques than Sungmin did . Sungmin only learned for 2 months .

Yet, Sungmin had experience . Wth 13 years of living, he had experience . A young child brings overconfidence .

The distance was closer . Sungmin moved closer .

“Wait, throw it there . ”

The hunter spat . The guy wasn’t a complete idiot . If Sungmin was just a regular No Class, the hunter wouldn’t be this aware .

‘Maybe I shouldn’t have ran away in the beginning? No, now it’s too late . ”

Sungmin stopped and pulled up the pocket . And he threw the pocket .

A bit high,

And a bit to the left .

The hunter reacted . He lifted his right arm up, and moved his body to the side . It was to get the pocket that was heading diagonally . When he moved, Sungmin’s hand was at the belt . The throwing knife was on his hand .

Pwk! The knife went forward . The hunter, surprised, moved . The knife barely missed the waist of the hunter .

In his body, inner strength rose up . The [Amethyst Cloud] was being used .

Pck! He used the [One Thunder] to move forward . The hunter didn’t have any time to swing his knife because of his broken stance . Sungmin pulled out the knife on the back of his waist and stabbed in straight inside .

“You son of a… . !”

The hunter screamed . Tried to scream . Sungmin swung the knife that was inside of him without hesitation .

“Ack!”

The hunter screamed again . The hunter moved back so it missed his vital points, but the knife cut through his stomach .

“Die!”

The hunter used his last strength . Even as he was bleeding hard, he swung his knife with his right hand . Then Sungmin, without thinking, moved close to the hunter’s body .

In this short of a distance, he couldn’t move away . The only way was to move towards him . The weapon like a knife could never swipe something that was close to the chest . Only maybe if he stabbed it down

The third rate martial artists was like this . They didn’t know how to adapt . They didn’t know how to be cool-headed . They didn't know how to examine their opponent .

Puk .

The knife stabbed straight through the person’s left chest . The knife stabbed straight through the heart . His body shook . His chin moved down, and the blood that came through his body straight out through the mouth flowed down .

“Uh… Uahhhhh…”

“ . . . Ha . ”

Sungmin breathed as he pulled out the knife . He pushed the body away with his left hand .

The person shivered slightly and lost his strength . Sungmin wiped away the blood on the knife . Then he searched through the hunter’s body .

“ . . . You stole a lot of money . ”

He had just earned 210,000 Erie .
